After recently doing a review at The Three Tuns in Henley, it wasn’t long before we got invited to head out that way again. It’s a good hour’s drive for us, but having had such a great experience before and with it being the perfect weather for an evening ride, we took the rather scenic country roads to Shiplake, just outside of Henley.

It's run by Master Distiller … [Read more...]
